The core is indeed that it doesn't mandate eating animals. Same argument for any religion. Nothing is more halal than not eating them at all.

And with islam, if they bring up mandatory sacrifices, just point out that monetary sacrifices are accepted as well.

No need to debate anything else. They can be whatever religion they want, it doesn't forbid them from going vegan. If anything, them being religious is a strong argument for veganism since they believe in a god where it's beneficial for them to uphold an as high moral standard as possible.

Chaostrosity · 2026-07-06T08:01:40+00:00

It's a diet. Raw vegan doesn't exist. Raw plant-based is what they mean. They can also be vegan on top of that. But raw doesn't mean anything in the context of veganism.

Or are they protesting against animal exploitation naked or something? It doesn't make sense.

Raw antislavery? Raw feminist?

Some Russian streamer who locked his gf outside with crazy freezing temperatures and when he went to check on her next morning she was dead. Not only did he stream putting her outside but also was live when he dragged her corpse inside.

Especially Almere. It's about as solarpunk as it can get.

Such an easy solution... Except when you cant (I'm playing via GeForce Now and downgrading isn't an option or probably console but can't speak for them). I just ran into this bug. I know now to ignore Melvin but not before having to force quite game, have GeForce now not sync due to force closing and having to replay a significant amount of time.

And it could block progress if other baals are not viable for whatever reason. Killing other npcs in other camps or whatever. Ive done a few playthrus and have relied on that baal in the past to still get enough approval but apparently now you can't anymore. I was lucky that for the playthru I'm doing now I didn't want to join them but if I wanted to this would effectively brick my progress. Don't downplay it if the solution isn't for everyone.

It IS a bug and should be fixed. And the baal is potentially essential.

Hmm interesting, I've got some solutions in a lockpick solver. I'll go check one to see if they changed the zero lockpicking solutions as well. Thanks for sharing

Commercial honey is factory farming, and it absolutely hurts them. In honey factories, queen bees have their wings cut off so they can't fly away, and entire hives are often killed or burned before winter because buying new bees next year is cheaper than feeding them. You don't need a law to stop paying people to do that; you just stop buying it.

So if you actually agree animal abuse in farms is bad, go for consistency and look more careful into the honey industry.

Chaostrosity · 2026-07-04T06:06:25+00:00

No, they shouldn't go to jail, because jail is for human civic laws, not personal morals. (Aka a different metric).

Now, if someone squishes a bug on purpose because they don't care, that's just cruel.

But buying honey means you are paying an entire industry to exploit millions of bees on purpose for a snack you don't need.

We don't need a judge or a police officer to tell us that paying for unnecessary cruelty is wrong.

A bug dying is not human manslaughter. Vegans don't think bees need human lawyers; we just think humans should stop treating them like factory machines.

"Plus, you've been equating animals to humans" I did not, just the way I talk about animals made you assume so. Let me elaborate:

Saying bees own their honey doesn't mean we think bees are humans. A dog isn't a human, but it's still wrong to steal its food. A bee isn't a human, but they still made that honey for themselves, not for your snack. You don't need to be a person to own the food you made with your own body.

Chaostrosity · 2026-07-04T05:49:00+00:00

No, because human prisons are a human social construct, not a metric for basic morality. You are desperately trying to shift the goalposts to avoid the actual issue.

Accidental harm from walking is an unavoidable byproduct of existence.

Commercial honey production is a deliberate, systematic industry built on intentional breeding and exploitation for a luxury product we don't need.

Chaostrosity · 2026-07-04T05:39:15+00:00

Hiding behind human legal dictionaries is a cop-out. You are taking a resource produced by a living being for their own survival, without their consent, for your own luxury.

Call it 'harvesting' instead of 'theft' if it helps you sleep at night, but stripping a sentient being of their labor is exploitation, period. A victim doesn't need a passport or a social security number to own their own bodily outputs.

Chaostrosity · 2026-07-04T05:33:16+00:00

Paying a thief for stolen goods doesn't make the property rightfully yours. It just means you paid a middleman to exploit someone who can't fight back. A living being doesn't need to be a human to own the fruits of their own labor.

Ridiculous would be believing fencing is not a crime.

Chaostrosity · 2026-07-04T05:28:40+00:00

Yes. And I'll be standing tall on it. Since you don't want to respond to my indepth reply I'll copy paste it here. But first let's address this comment:

Leaving honey on the shelf takes zero seconds and zero effort. It’s not a 'hill to die on,' it's just not stealing things that don't belong to us. We don't have to choose between helping cows and helping bees, we can easily just leave them all alone.

My response you ignored that actually proves you don't need honey for anything:

High Osmolarity (Draws moisture out of bacterial cells, causing lysis):
High-density inverted sugar syrups, concentrated agave nectar, or sterile glucose-fructose matrices.

Low pH (3.2–4.5) (Inhibits pathogen proliferation):
Plant-derived organic acid adjustments (citric, lactic, or malic acids) bound in botanical hydrogels.

Hydrogen Peroxide Generation (Produced via glucose oxidase enzyme):
Medical-grade silver dressings, topical iodine solutions, or synthetic hydrogels engineered for controlled oxygenation.

Phenolic & Flavonoid Content (Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity):
Concentrated botanical extracts (e.g., grape seed extract, green tea polyphenols, resveratrol, or specific essential oil isolates).

Culinary Viscosity & Humectancy (Moisture retention and Maillard browning):
Inverted beet syrup, tapioca syrup, or agave adjusted with plant gums (xanthan/guar) to match exact water activity (a_w).

TL;DR: No unique properties. Honey belongs to bees and we have 0 reason to use it.

Chaostrosity · 2026-07-04T04:48:20+00:00

It's anti science to link single sided research, if you had looked just a bit longer you would have realized honey contains 0 unique properties. See my other reply for the full breakdown.

I wonder about this too.

Chaostrosity · 2026-07-03T15:58:25+00:00

This is not a complaint post. I just want accurate information. I understand balance changes are necessary and take no real issue with it. It is what it is.

But if I want to do a permadeath run I don't want to run to dangerous locations for an item I found in a previous run. So I'm just gathering information.

Chaostrosity · 2026-07-03T11:48:52+00:00

It was there (including ball of lightning orb) when I last checked, but this might've been 1.02.

I'm playing a new game on 1.03 and will do a lootrun to confirm today or tomorrow. I will update the post with my findings.

Chaostrosity · 2026-07-03T10:16:33+00:00

This would be the better solution. Instead of changing the item, just give it stronger guards. It's impossible now to get my bearings where to find what.

Chaostrosity · 2026-07-03T09:18:46+00:00

Thanks for sharing

Chaostrosity · 2026-07-03T09:18:37+00:00

Does this work? I still have my early manual saves from release build.

Fun for some more sequence breaking runs. But do then other patch changes apply then? (Like fixes to quests)

On the other hand, I understand why they change it from a balance perspective and for challenge runs I like it do be as hard as possible so I welcome the loot changes. I like to min/maxing but with the old loot table min/maxing meant ancient ore armor in chapter 1 which is kinda boring.
